About This Quiz

The NBA has been cool for a long time, but right now, it has never been cooler. If you do have a favorite team, then this is a great time to be a basketball fan unless of course, you are a fan or the Sacremento Kings, and if that is the case, all we can do is say that we're sorry.

Right now you still have to love the Golden State Warriors; they have been awesome forever, and they still look amazing. But you would be a happy NBA fan if you were enjoying the Houston Rockets too? Who would have ever thought that Chris Paul and James Harden would work together so well? Also, you can never count out the San Antonio Spurs.

Then when it comes to the East, the Cavs might be down, but they will never be out as long as they have Lebron James. And what about the Celtics and the Lakers? The two greatest teams of all time, both that have bright futures, although Boston sure is a lot better right now. Who is your favorite basketball team? We bet if you take this quiz we can find out.
